Built on the frame of the Mk.1 pistol, the Mk.1 Carbine has the power and range to put it well into the sniper rifle category while only weighing just under 3 lbs and is shorter than a M4.

Construction: The Mk.1 Carbine is light weight yet feels extremely solid as it is light by design and not from lack of quality. The skeleton stock is reinforced composite while the frame and foregrip are heavy duty ABS plastic. All the internals are made out of metal as well as the barrel and upper receiver. This is the latest version of the Mk.1 so it has the metal hop up housing instead of the weaker plastic housing used in previous versions. The receiver has a weaver rail for mounting a red dot sight or scope. The rifle is also fitted with iron sights. The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation.

Performance: Holding the record of the highest velocity of any airsoft gun we have chronographed to date, the Mk.1 Carbine achieved a scorching 638 fps w/ KSC .2g and Xtreme gas. Obviously at this velocity one should be extra cautious as to what is behind your target in the event that you miss as the BB will probably not stop until it reaches the next county.

A unique feature of the Mk.1 is that it can use practically any type of gas. This way you can change the velocity of the gun by simply putting in a different type of gas so it can be used for anything from skirmishing to eliminating soup cans at long range (which we all know are tougher and more mean tempered than your average soda can). Using a .2g BB, 134a gas averages 350 fps, Propane 500 fps and Xtreme 600+ fps. For best accuracy we suggest using High Polished .25g to .3g BBs.

First of all, I think in addition to my review read "CQC Sniper" and "I love AKs" review on this.

The KJW Mk.1 Carbine is a great gun for many reasons, but I find that the FPS is way too much. If you just airsoft with friends, they probably won't want to play with you, and if you airsoft in organized arenas you will have to use super heavy BBs (that are a pain to find and also expensive)to get the FPS into limits, if they even allow it. With that said onto the review.

LOOK: The Mk.1 Carbine is essentially the MK.1 pistol with a longer barrel and a stock. I personally I like the look, but the plastic doesn't look great, and with a scope on it is really weird.

CONSTRUCTION: Though the gun's body is mostly plastic, it is strong. And the parts that are metal are the most important (the internals and barrel). Now the positive of with it not being full metal is that it is extremely light at 2.75 pounds so you can run around easily with the Mk.1 Carbine. And the barrel is short so it is very easy to manuever. I suggest getting a scope, because even though it has iron sights it is hard to line up. Finally the stock is sort of weird at first, but you'll get use to it, and I personally grew to like it.

PREFORMANCE: Yes it really does go fast, and since I haven't chronographed it I will go with what shorty says. The range is also amazing, but that is with .2s which aren't very accurate. And as I said before you will have to find heavy BBs to get into airsoft places which takes a chunk out of the range. Now what i like about Gas Snipers is that they are semi-auto. Finally, due to it being a non blow back gas consumption isn't a lot which I apprieciate very much so.

OVERALL PACKAGE: At 105 dollars after shipping, you are getting a great deal. Now the mag is only 17 rounds, but if you are more of a sniper you will only need on mag.

I already wrote a review of this gun but it was not posted. I'll try again. This is not an Airsoft gun. It may say, Airsoft gun, but it has the velocity of a Colt .45 ACP at the muzzle. Something is seriously wrong with Shorty and everyone who wants to own this for ANYTHING other than shooting cans.

If people get hurt enough in Airsoft, we lost Airsoft as a sport. The gov will simply close us down and that's that.

I hate the comments above that take this gun lightly or say they shot a squirrel and it went right through the head (both parietal bones) or that those of us who oppose it are "pussies" (spelled wrong in the original comment) or that this is great for putting "a hole in someones car window with this bitch. Buy it. Not for tournaments, but think about it. Go hide in the woods and just snipe pedestrians." And... one fellow even admits that he shot a kid in the leg with penetration and had to pay $500 for the doctor's bills (and maybe a law suit?). Good grief !!!!

What the hell is wrong with us. We are not protected from the law just because we are a large sporting group. If you think that the Department of Homeland Security isn't looking for reasons to prevent even more "weapons" from being on the street (or in the woods), just use your common sense.

I own the Mk.1 pistol and this is esentially the same thing except it's stronger. To give you an idea of what it looks like look at the pistol and then add a stock. Although the range is amazing it can be wildly inaccurate. Another thing is why would you even want to use Xtreme gas in this thing and push it to over 600fps? You must be a homicidal crazy if you do that and take it into an airsoft war. Just one shot to the jugular and you're opponent will be dead. Not cool. On the positives, this gun is cheap, durable, and in my opinion cool looking.

Now for all you people who don't like to read a lot I'll sum up the review here:

Goes through just about everything including foliage, soda cans, hands, legs, arms, etc.
Gas- Now some people, like me, don't necessarily see this as a con it can be irratating to refuel in the heat of battle. (One reason why I like AEGs better)
Plastic frame

My opinion: Go with the Mk.1 pistol. It's not going to put a hole in your buddies head and is cheaper.

Hope this Helped

I personally have owned this gun. It is very efficent and fast. Because it uses gas, it is semi-automatic. Everytime you pull the trigger, it will shoot.

The gun is balanced as far as metal and plastic goes. The barrell is metal, the trigger, the rails, and the hop-up are also metal. Everything else is plastic, to lessen weight and materials, the stock is a low-profile design. Meaning that the rear stock is hollow. (Shorty, get pics up now!)

This gun is REALLY strong!! With a .25 bb, the FPS is 475. And Shorty is wrong, with a .2, the FPS is 570. And this is scary, I tried it with a .12, and I got 750. This is all with Green Gas. I use heavy .45 bb's to even be allowed in the range. With a .45, its 330 FPS. Box comes with .2 bbs.

I was dissappointed when I committed an accuracy test in my backyard. This gun would shoot in random places. Even with my bi-pod, the bb's would not go in a straight line. This is not really although somewhat expected with a carbine. After I lubed it, it got a little bit better. It does this with all bb weights.

I kept this gun for a while, but I got really sick of it and traded it for a G18C. Then I bought a TM AK Beta.

This is the best sniper ever!!!!!!!The sights aren't very good though. I tested it and it's accurate up to 270ft.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I also chronograpghed it. On an average of 5 shots it was 500 fps with .2 gram bbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It has quite a few plastic parts though. But at least it has a metal barrel. The stock is okay but the performance is amazing. It's very compact for a sniper rifle.
LOOKS: 5/5
INTIMADATION: 5/5 (other kids go running when I tell them the velocity)
POWER: 5/5
ACCURACY: 5/5
RANGE: 10/5 (270 ft. is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
PRICE: 10/5 This is worth twice as much as they sell it for)
CONSTRUCTION: 5/5 (it's solid)
CAPACITY: 5/5 (a true sniper doesn't need more than 20 shots, 17 is plenty)
OVERALL: 50/40
It's the best sniper ever, all it needs is full metal. With it all lubed up and xtreme gas this thing is 590 fps with .2 gram bbs!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel bad for the people you go airsofting with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this gun kicks ass it shoots simi auto so even if you miss you can shoot again and again my advices, DONT BUY, this gun is amazing but no one will want to play with you and all the peaple that get this gun will never die. buying this gun distroys the game. i sold this gun on ebay for 150$ so now i have the UTG sniper and now people can kill me. i also like the UTG better, it feels more realistic. it also is more fun to use. reamember people, airsoft is a fun GAME not not a WAR!!!!

make love not war!
